The two unnamed residents of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain were "working" as a driver and gardener as a part of the General Confederation of Labor.

The men were subject to a full-fledged investigation after it had been brought to the attention of the city's HR department that the two men had neglected to show up at their respective workplaces from the beginning of 2015 to date.

What the investigation uncovered was that the two men had in fact been doing so since the beginning of the millennium.

When confronted, the two men claimed that their particular situation was warranted, as they were using their accumulated vacation days as well as those of their co-workers, which they claim abides by union rules.

Oddly enough, the two men weren't the first to pull a fast one on the Jerez de la Frontera government.

A police officer for the town was found to have only shown up to work 47 days in 2015, and a second officer only showing up for 66.
